Seems official now. Went to Avaya's website, under "Corporate Overview" they have a pdf dated 18 December with the fruitcake Stranglers name and title right there in b & w.
Let me see if I can copy the link here before I go overdose on Alka-Seltzer as my stomach is turning. Page two, dare I say it:Senior "Leadership".

I have to add that I just went to Jobvent.com and read the reviews about Avaya. Take a peek. The employees over there could have written the posts below. It's Nortel all over again. It will give you a new understanding of how a guy like Hackkneed can continue to thrive. Pity the poor slobs at Avaya.

I remember when the Hatchet man first came aboard. I was managing a team of support engineers and my manager had been in a meeting with the SOB. I asked him what he thought of his new boss. He told me “Joel really knows how to CONTROL a meeting.” It was clear from the first day that he was boss and he would prove it by crushing anyone who attempted to offer a different point of view. My own experiences afterward confirmed the boorish, arrogant, contemptible nature of the bastard. As I read the prior posts it's clear that he was disliked by virtually everyone. I wonder why, with the kind of money they pay these guys, they don't hire someone with some character. Are we all wrong? Management isn't a popularity contest but my God is this the best Nortel and now Avaya can come up with?

Avaya should give Hackney a LOA on day one – give him his bonus and whatever else he has coming to him and then let the employees run the show – he can stay home and dream of beating up young ladies. At least you would not have to worry about the decisions being made based on selfishness…plus there may be a chance to succeed at that point.

I am with you. I have never hated someone as much as I do him.

Anyone know where The Strangler will be stationed? It would be so decent of all of the ex-employees and (deliberately) sold-out shareholders to do a meet and greet with cookies and hot cocoa to welcome him in the parking lot of his brand new shiny head-quarters…maybe we can invite the young woman who had her face grabbed to join us.. you know, for old-times sake.

Big mistake. But perhaps this is a clue that Avaya is just as clueless?

Or maybe it went a little like this?

Hackman: "Hey, Kevin, who do I gotta strangle around here to get a job?"
